Nightmare's Connection [DISCONTINUED... And Very Old-]

Chapter 6

Almost a year had gone by since Nightmare and the book's plan, the plan really didn't seem to be working. Dream was at the Village as usual and Nightmare was under the tree. He looked up at the swaying branches, he sighed.

I promised you I would protect him, but I don't think I can...
I miss you... We both do...

Dream walked up to Nightmare, which was strange since it was barely mid day he Shouldn't be back yet.

"N-nighty?"

He sounded worried, Nightmare looked away from the tree and payed his attention to Dream.

"I-I can't keep h-hiding things from you."

Dream crouched down and hugged Nightmare shaking.

"T-There going to k-kill you N-Nighty."

Dream started crying, Nightmare heard shouting in the distance.

"Hurry up he's going to warn Nightmare!"

Nightmare stood up and sat Dream against the the tree, Dream jumped up and grabbed Nightmare stopping him from leaving.

"Y-you can't f-fight them they'll k-kill you."

Nightmare hesitated then pushed Dream off him onto the ground, his raised his had and created a magic shield around Dream and the tree.

"They'll kill you two Dream..."

Dream put his hand on the shield.

"P-please..."

Nightmare turned around trying to avoid looking Dream in the eyes, he saw a mob of angry people and monster's, at that point Nightmare's instincts activated, he refused to let Dream be in danger. The book burst through the shield anchoring itself at Nightmare's side, Dream looked shocked he new Nightmare had this book but he didn't know it could do this. Nightmare turned to his side the book's cover looking towards him, the book's page's flicked open realvealing-

I'm sorry... I failed to fix our mistakes...

But we can still change now... We can save Dream... 

I'll be here.

The book summoned it's own attack's, Nightmare just gussed he was using extra magic through the book. That would be so draining he had to use magic to talk through the book but to summon strong attacks through a book to the past... He wouldn't be able to do it for long. The mob was already walking up the hill the saw Nightmare already in a attack position they stopped seeing a literal flying book hovering beside Nightmare. Using, magic. To Nightmare's surprise the queen barged through the crowd with the visible anger on her face, dragging the king behind her. Nightmare had known the king for awhile he had come to visit Dream at the tree and was quite surprised to know Dream had a brother. Despite everything he had heard he continued to be nice to Nightmare...

Heh... Nice to me...
Well book, gusse you weren't lying...

Nightmare really didn't want to hurt the king, but if he tried to hurt Dream... He felt as if he wouldn't have a choice. The queen launched the first attack, Nightmare snapped back into focus going to dodge, the book threw one of it's attack's in front of Nightmare protecting him from the attack. Nightmare summoned his own attack it was like a small purple blade that almost merged with his arm, the villagers were shocked they started thinking what would have happened if Nightmare had actually defended himself all the times they had hurt him. He had always avoided hurting the villagers, he knew how Dream would have felt... But now there was something else rising inside of him... Anger? No... Hate. It almost felt like it was forcing itself into Nightmare's very soul. Nightmare began laughing... He sounded insane almost, Dream had covered his mouth and had fallen onto his knees, he didn't even recognize his own brother...

"See!"

Nightmare shouted, leaving his laughter and forming into a deeper tone.

"See... What. You. Did to me!?"

His tears flooded out of his eyes he summoned more of his blades launching them at the villagers. The book also attacked, but the more Nightmare attacked the more he felt like he was losing himself. Hate had started to corrupt him leaving the hillside covered in a mass murder of corpses and blood soaked ground. Nightmare heard a small thunk beside him, he turned to see the book on the ground slowly flicking through page's. Nightmare summoned a second shield around him and the book, he knelt  down in front of the book. The book's writing barely phased through.

I-It's taking to much magic N-Night

It's okay I have it from here...

G-guys...

The book went lifeless like it was Just a normal book now. The villagers were begging the queen to retreat but she refused forcing them to attack Nightmare. He lowered his shield and re-summoned his blade but this time on both arms the villagers attacked Nightmare with constant attacks... A sudden sharp pain ran through his head, giving the villagers enough time to knock him to the ground. He turned towards the tree to see Dream pined on the ground by the king and the queen, who had-

See. cut. down. the. tree...

Nightmare filled his soul with Hate. That tree was the only connection to his mother, let alone the hole balance of both Negitivity and Positivity. He summoned his attacks impaling all of his attackers dusting them. He ran towards Dream using his blades to knock the king off of Dream, Dream sat up he looked af the tree he was panicking he could barely even move other than his shaking. Nightmare lunched himself at the queen but that was apart of her plan, she swiftly turned around jabbing Nightmare through his chest. And through his soul. She tossed Nightmare to the ground beside the tree, he had started dusting slowly rolling over to see the queen going after Dream. Nightmare looked beside him towards the cut down tree, he grabbed a Negitivity apple, he was about to take a bite but-

I promised Dream I wouldn't...
Maybe I can control it...?
But do I have another choice...

The queen raised her attack above Dream he heard Dream calling his name. Dream saw the Negitivity apple and desperately called for him not too. The queen had stopped curious of what was happening but lost interest and turned her attention back to impaling Dream.

"I'm sorry Dream..." 

It's only one... For him...

Dream yelled Nightmare's name as he took a bite the Negative energy filled his body stopping him from dusting and reforming his body, his eyes turned a slight Teal color but his purple color faded back through fighting off the Negitivity. He stood up almost stumbling over.

"Stop!" 

Nightmare yelled, his voice soundeding weak. The queen turned her attention to Nightmare, she was shocked but was mainly filled with anger. She made her way towards Nightmare throwing and attack through his arm Nightmare couldn't even react he was having his own mental battle fighting back the Negitivity, which all the Negative arorua around them just made it harder. Nightmare finally snapped back into reality, he summoned his attacks this time with a faded Teal color. He used his magic to bring the queen's soul outside her body the slashed across her soul leaving her HP slowly lowering, she cried out in pain tears staining down her face. 

"Y-you truly a-are a m-moster."

The queen slowly dusted away.

Was that all she had to say...

Nightmare's left pupil turned a full Teal color, he turned his head to Dream... Nightmare's soul started pounding...
